I hold a B. A. in Family and Child Studies with a concentration in Family Services. I have worked at both public and private schools caring for children with the following disabilities: Autism, Asperger's, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down Syndrome, Mute, Blind, ADD, ADHD, Mental Retardation, OCD, PICA, and children that have multiple disabilities. I also have experience babysitting/nannying children with disabilities, as well as, teaching piano lessons to children with disabilities. I have experience working with older youth and adults with disabilities as well. They include: Mental Retardation, Austism, Mental Health, OCD, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. I worked with these adults not only as a care taker, but my other job position was to help my clients with job seeking, learning interview skills, and to maintain their skills at their jobs. I believe that all children whether they have a disability or have typically developed have the ability to learn. Teaching should be at each individual's ability level for best results in advancement. I believe both academic skills as well as life skills are equally important for all children to learn. I would be more than happy to supply my resume and references upon request. I can also give more detail about the type of work I have done.
